As Lorraine walked, she kept thinking in her mind.
In the night, some strange sounds came from the surrounding dense forest from time to time, and it was extremely dark, and it was impossible to see any fingers. It was like a monster that devoured everything, watching the group of people silently and coldly.
For a moment, he even planned to pull out his sword, chop down the troublesome little brat in front of him, and then pull Hilmeria and run into the dense forest next to him.
Thinking of this, his hand trembled and he was about to reveal his sword, but then, the unusual adventurous idea disappeared. In such a dark situation, it was impossible to see the road clearly.
Moreover, he also brought a little girl with him. Although she also had fragrant skin and soft skin, she was carried on his shoulders and took a lot of advantage when her ears and temples were rubbed, but she was still an adult after all.
It's not light either.
There were so many people on the other side, so I could only act quietly.
Just in case they were alerted, and after realizing something was wrong, he came over at once, and he would not have escaped. He was sure that he could kill eight or nine people, or even a dozen people, with the long sword and musket in his hand, but then
Woolen cloth?
The good situation is that he died tragically here, waiting for Catherine and others to collect his body, and then listened to them singing Little Widow Goes to the Grave every year during the Ghost Festival.
The worst case scenario is that he was captured accidentally and was sent to the palace of Bosilia, where he lived with a large group of beauties wearing thin and transparent clothes, and lived like starving ghosts guarding rice buckets full of rice.
Live a happy eunuch life.
As he walked, he kept thinking wildly in his mind.
At this moment, I heard the young man next to me hesitate for a moment, and then said softly: "Brother, may I ask what your name is? Why do I seem to have never seen you before?"
Damn it, exposed~!
Lorraine's head suddenly buzzed, and he felt the blood vessels in his forehead beating wildly.
He turned his head and looked into the man's eyes without saying a word, then quietly stretched out his right hand to touch his long sword.
I heard a hint of shyness flash in the man's eyes, and said hurriedly: "Brother, although this is my first time to participate in the operation and I have just arrived here, I also know our rules, so this sentence is a bit inappropriate to ask.
Yes. But when I came out, my family told me that if you see someone who is capable, you must learn more from them. If you don't want to say it, then forget it."
As he spoke, he timidly took a small step back.
Lorraine suddenly felt relieved. Looking at the man's simple and panic eyes, he could even feel that his young face, covered with black cloth, was already red with shame.
He couldn't help it.
Lorraine smiled faintly, and then asked pretending to be nonchalant: "Just came here? Are all of you new here? Did you vomit while taking the boat on the way?"
The man smiled sheepishly and said, "I encountered some wind and waves on the road, so the vomiting was not too severe."
Lorraine rolled his eyes, and he was immediately overjoyed: It's true, these guys are not familiar with that person, and there is definitely an opportunity to take advantage of it. He can make good use of this.
He pretended to be casual and asked a few questions, getting to know the details of those people clearly.
It turns out that these guys are all a bunch of wandering mercenaries. Just knowing that this time they are going to avenge a big shot and make a good deal. And I heard that if they do well, they will have a chance to be recruited.
Become a regular army officer and become an officer.
Lorraine couldn't help but secretly admire the thoughtfulness of the big man at the head. The guy looked thick-browed and big-eyed, with a rough and bold face. He didn't expect his mind to be so vicious.
He used this group of rich mercenaries to do his work. No matter what clues were left at the scene, they would never be traced to him.
Even if things fail and those guys are caught by the academy, there is no way to prove that he was behind the scenes, so he can easily get rid of suspicion.
Lorraine was thinking as she walked, and accidentally tripped over a dead branch next to her.
The man next to him hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him.
After Lorraine stood firm, she thanked him. Then she looked up and saw that the man was still looking at her eagerly. She couldn't help but smile softly and said, "For the sake of being so honest, I'll tell you."
It’s no big deal. My name is Luke. I’m your personal guard.”
"Huh?" The man couldn't help but was stunned, and then a strange look appeared in his eyes, and said: "My lord's personal guard? But...but why did my lord ask for your name at that time?"
Lorraine was shocked, but her face remained calm.
He smiled calmly, and then asked: "By the way, what's your name? Are there any servants at home?"
The man quickly replied: "My name is Lekar. My family is poor and we have no servants. But the city guard of our city is related to my family. There are many slaves in his family."
Lorraine looked at him and then said: "You often go to his house, right? How many names of servants in their house can you remember?"
The man couldn't help but be stunned and said: "Me? Me...how could I remember the names of those people?"
"Isn't it over?" Lorraine shrugged and said with a hint of complaint in his tone: "This is the sorrow of us little people. It's the same as your inability to remember the name of the servant in the relative's house of the city guard. You will
Do you expect a big shot to remember your name? Even though you were transferred here at the very beginning of the establishment of the mission, even though you have been unknown and have served him hard and without complaint for three months. But... don’t dream~!"
After finishing speaking, Lorraine chuckled, and then continued with a mocking look: "He even asked me my name today, which is pretty good. When we met before, the only thing I said to you was
The chance is that when you salute, you say 'Hello, sir' to him, and then he replies 'Take a break.' But sometimes, when he is in a bad mood, he doesn't even say 'Take a break'."
Having said this, he stretched out his hand and made a salute gesture.
After finishing, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Carlisle hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Brother, did you know? There is also a man named Luke in our team. That man is stupid."
When he said this, he suddenly realized his gaffe and explained in a panic: "Brother Luke, I don't mean that you are stupid, I just mean that the man named Luke is quite stupid. He always makes mistakes.
Get scolded less."
Lorraine thought for a while and said to herself: Of course I know the young master, he is still tied up by me, wearing only small underwear and staying in the tree pit. Otherwise, I would not give myself such an unpleasant name. Then he said calmly
He smiled and said, "I understand."
He felt Hilmeria's soft and delicate body slide down a little on his shoulders, and then he lifted her up again. After holding her steady, he said lightly: "Carlisle, is that right?
?Tell me, are you familiar with adults?"
Carlyle asked curiously: "Are you familiar with your Excellency? How is this possible? Your Excellency is a figure in the clouds. And we...how can we be familiar with Your Excellency?"
Lorraine thought about it and couldn't help but said in a long voice: "That's it..."
He paused and said, "Let me tell you. What an adult hates most is for others to point out his mistakes. He has a famous saying, 'The superior is always right. The more wrong he is, the more right he is.' Understand what it means.
What do you mean? If he loses his temper then, be sure to obey him, otherwise if you offend him, he will chop off your head."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and lightly scratched the back of the man's neck.
Carlisle immediately shrank his neck in fear. Then he swallowed dryly and said in a trembling voice: "I...I remember."
Lorraine used the starlight in the sky to see the fear in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile to herself.
But he put on a straight face, sighed, and then said: "Is it enough just for you to know? What a stupid boy."
Carlisle heard his sigh and didn't understand what he meant. He couldn't help but blinked and murmured: "Brother, what do you mean..."
Lorraine shook his head, looking like he hated iron and steel, and sighed: "Not only do you know it yourself, but you also have to tell the other brothers quietly, lest they don't know and hit the muzzle of the gun... hit it
The blade is up."
Carlisle was immediately ashamed beyond measure.
He hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes. You said yes. I will tell others right now."
Lorraine hurriedly pulled him back and whispered: "Are you familiar with everyone else?"
Carlisle was stunned again and muttered: "It's not that we are too familiar. As you know, everyone listened to the adults' orders and gathered together. Many people only got to know each other when they got on the boat.
Get up."
Lorraine was overjoyed again and whispered: "That's good, that's even better."
Carlyle asked curiously: "What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything." Lorraine suddenly woke up, covered it up vaguely, and then said: "It's just that you have to be careful when telling others. If you let the adults know about it, I will be in trouble.
Let’s go.”
This has always been a wise saying in the officialdom. In fact, no matter where you are, as long as there is a society, how come there is no officialdom?
Carlisle is not a fool, on the contrary, he is also an extremely smart person, otherwise he would not go out of his way to flatter Lorraine.
At this time, after hearing Lorraine's patient instructions, he couldn't help but trembled all over, as if he had found a treasure, and immediately replied: "Yes, yes. Brother, what you expected was that I was so wrong. I looked back and saw the opportunity.
If you don't, just go and tell others quietly."
At this moment, I heard the sound of rolling wheels coming from ahead.
A suppressed and excited voice came from the front, saying: "We're here, we're here. Everyone, get in the car quickly."
Through the rising moonlight, Lorraine could faintly see several carriages lined up in the open space in front of her. The horses pulling the carriages had obviously been carefully trained, and they remained silent when they saw the crowd coming.
Stand there quietly.
The big man at the head was standing next to a carriage, urging everyone: "Hurry up, hurry up. Everyone get in the carriage quickly. Where is the woman, bring her over quickly and put her in this carriage."
superior."
Lorraine rolled his eyes, and then told the person next to him: "Carlisle, I will come back to you when I get back."
Carlisle was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said: "Yes, yes. You are a personal guard, of course you are not with us. I will return to the team first. You must find me when you come back."
After saying that, he ran away.
Lorraine smiled, then lowered his head, slowly carried Hilmeria over and put her in the car. Then he looked around and used the man below to direct everyone to get on the car.
Everyone was so noisy that no one paid attention to their opportunity, and then they turned over and rolled out of the car window, then lay down on the roof of the car and hid it without moving.
Low shouts and roll calls kept ringing out from the crowd.
Sometimes one or two voices would answer simultaneously: "He was killed by those people."
Then a sigh and a chuckle of gloating could be heard faintly.
This is actually not surprising. For these people, if one more person dies, it means they can get a bigger share of the bounty.
At this time, I heard a voice in the crowd ask in a low voice: "Luke? Has anyone seen Luke? Has he come over?"
Lorraine listened and saw that it was the voice of the captain he met in the forest.
The big man at the head had been waiting for a long time and was already impatient. Seeing that they were still lingering here, he couldn't help but sneered and cursed in a low voice: "These damn things."
He jumped on the pedal, turned around and asked the captain in a low and stern voice: "Damn~! That Rook you called, does he know our destination?"
The man was stunned and replied in a panic: "Destination? Is it... is it our previous hiding place?"
The big Han smiled solemnly, then shrugged and said, "Ha, it seems he doesn't know. That's not bad."
As he said that, he turned his head and ordered sternly: "Everyone, please get in the car. Those who can't make it will be ignored. If it's too late, the college inspection team may find something wrong and they may send someone else to come. Get in the car."
, get in the car quickly."
After everyone heard this, they didn't care much and climbed into their carriages in panic.
Lorraine heard someone whispering not far away: "Moore, don't contradict the adults. As long as Luke is not dead, he will definitely find his own way back. Be careful not to anger the adults. 'The superior is always right.
When you are wrong, you are more right.'..."
Lorraine couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. Unexpectedly, in just a short while, Carlisle had already begun to teach everyone his experience.
At this time, I felt the car shake, and then slowly start to move. The wheels rolled on the path, making a squeaking sound, and drove towards the distance in the dark night.
They drove the carriage and ran all the way until they went a long way. They came to a fork in the road, then turned right, and walked for a while until they came to a huge villa.
At this time, in the dark sky in the distance, I saw several abnormally shining light spots, dragging and shining with various colors of brilliance like meteors. The long tail of the comet crossed the sky and quickly headed towards the forest.
Fly away.
After a while, the forest seemed to be on fire, illuminated by magic lights as bright as day, and half of the sky turned red.
The thundering hoofbeats of the war horses followed immediately.
For a while, it was extremely lively with people shouting and horses neighing.
Obviously, they had just received the information and rushed here to save people.
When everyone in the carriage heard the commotion outside, they all poked their heads out of the carriage and looked into the distance. While watching, they kept laughing loudly.
At this time, I heard the leader poke his head out of the car and shouted: "Shut up, everyone~! Be careful of exposing the target, I want your heads~!"
Everyone suddenly became quiet.
At this time, Lorraine felt the carriage beneath her shaking a few more times, and then stopped.
He couldn't help but be startled, and then he ventured his head out, took a look, and found that the remaining carriages were still moving forward, and then disappeared into the darkness, apparently to disperse and hide.
Lorraine snorted coldly and thought to herself: This would be better.
Then he lay down again and hid his figure.
At this time, several guards ran over from a short distance holding torches. Then they opened the car door, lifted Hilmeria who was still unconscious in the car, and then carefully carried her into the villa.
The carriage swayed again, then turned around, and then swayed toward the outside of the villa.
Lorraine couldn't help but sigh. In this way, unless Hilmeria herself was found in the villa, it would be difficult for even the most stringent and frame-up judge to implicate this incident.
That man was charged with a crime.
He saw that the carriage was about to leave the villa, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He saw the outstretched branches of a tree next to him, then he jumped over and stood firmly on the tree.
After Lorraine stood firm, he was not in a hurry to get down. He paused for a while and heard no other movement around, then slowly slid down from the tree. Then he hid his body in the shadow of the tree.
He carefully walked towards the villa from dark corners such as wall corners.
When he came to the front of the villa, he heard the sound of footsteps and hurriedly hid in the corner next to him. He saw a guard walking out listlessly, with his clothes still slanted on his body.
As he walked, he was still unfastening his belt, obviously planning to come out to let loose.
The man walked straight towards Lorraine in a daze, and then passed by him without noticing that someone was squatting next to him.
Lorraine looked behind him and found that no one was following him, so he couldn't help but walked over quietly, then waved his right hand, took out his musket, put the cold barrel under the man's neck, and then
He shouted in a low voice: "Don't move~!"
The man was stunned, raised his hands in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "You...what do you want to do?"
Lorraine sneered and said, "Where is the woman we just got?"
The man couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then he felt the musket in Lorraine's hand thrust forward hard. He hurriedly said: "No, don't kill me. The woman who just came is on the second floor."
Lorraine glanced up in the direction of his finger, and saw the light coming on there. She couldn't help but nodded, then turned the handle of the gun, knocking him out in one fell swoop.
